Firstly, indeed, the institution of peer review is not regulated in any way in the world. Those. there are no rules on how or what to write in a review.

Dear editors ! As usual, with the onset of autumn there is an aggravation: the scientific community, resting over the summer, begins to swear with a vengeance for some new or old reasons.
